Platinum Preferred Since 2019
Owens Corning Duration Storm is the highest-performing asphalt shingle in the OC residential lineup, carrying Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating available, along with WeatherGuard Technology for enhanced wind and weather protection. It's the OC product most directly built for the kind of recurring hail exposure Central Texas homeowners face.
Duration Storm is built specifically for markets where hail isn't a rare event but a recurring seasonal reality. Its Class 4 impact resistance gives it the highest available protection against hail damage, and WeatherGuard Technology adds an extra layer of wind and weather resistance beyond standard SureNail construction. For homeowners filing an insurance claim after storm damage, Duration Storm is also the OC product most likely to qualify for a carrier's Class 4 premium discount.
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an estimated $600 million in combined damage across Travis and Williamson Counties according to the National Weather Service. (Source) Duration Storm's Class 4 rating is the asphalt shingle specification most directly matched to that level of recurring storm exposure, which is why it's the most commonly recommended product for insurance replacement scenarios Ark handles.
Not every roofer who installs Owens Corning products can offer the same warranty coverage. Owens Corning reserves its strongest warranty options for Platinum Preferred contractors, a designation held by a small percentage of roofers nationally and requiring ongoing performance and customer satisfaction standards most contractors never meet.
As a Platinum Preferred contractor since 2019, Ark is authorized to offer Owens Corning's Platinum Protection warranty on qualifying installations, extending coverage to both materials and labor for up to 50 years. A non-Platinum contractor installing the exact same shingle cannot offer that same level of coverage, regardless of installation quality.
The shingle you choose matters. So does who installs it.

Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.
The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
Luke and his team were very professional and good at communicating throughout the whole process. They took care of everything and made the work pretty painless. Don't hesitate to give them a chance.
